Boris Johnson’s Love Actually parody is the most cringeworthy thing you’ll see today
It’s almost election day in the UK, and Christmas isn’t far behind, so Boris Johnson’s team decided he should tweet out a nod to that perennial Christmas favourite, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas Love Actually.

Once they’d managed to uncringe themselves, these people had the best comments to make about the absolute shitshow.

Christmas is already ruined and now my favourite Christmas film is ruined too 😢
(Don’t @ me telling me why Love Actually is bad, I’ve heard the arguments and I don’t care, thanks.) https://t.co/Cs0Boznur5

Isn't this the only character in Love, Actually who, by the end, has no-one to love them back? https://t.co/eO0DTRdL1s

Boris Johnson recreating that particularly creepy and manipulative scene from Love Actually, a garbage movie beloved by garbage people, is… pretty fitting tbh

My husband (who has never seen Love, Actually) just asked me why Johnson has made an ad that looks like he’s giving a secret message to a white woman that he doesn’t want her black partner to know about. https://t.co/KrR1kkACPj

Inevitably, people edited the cards.
